This article is organized around the productions on epistemology in tourism in the Ibero-American context. The guiding thread of this reflection is based on two theoretical and methodological pillars: the production of authors who identify currents or theoretical schools for the epistemology of tourism - and more specifically the work of Panosso Netto and Castillho Nechar (2014) - and the theoretical device, analytical and methodological analysis of the Pecheutian Discourse Analysis, especially in the concept of archive. These aspects guided the search for texts on tourism epistemology on the Publications of Tourism website, considered here as an object of analysis, resulting in the formulation of the objective of the present article: observing which the prevailing theoretical currents on tourism epistemology are, in a file elaborated from the Tourism Publications website. In the analysis stage, a quantitative survey and filtering of articles dealing with the topic of epistemology on that website were organized, resulting in 60 articles that make up the base of the archive. In the analysis, Phenomenology, Positivism and Systemism were identified as predominant theoretical approaches and in the analytical process another approach was found, named Complex/Ecosystem.
